While we were walking, Sam, being the clown that he is, wouldn’t stop teasing me about the whole thing.
“My little Leah finally imprinted…” he said with googlie eyes.
I sighed; there was no point in asking him to stop; that would just make it worse.
“Let’s go, their waiting for us.” Jacob said, and we started walking to the border.
The trip back seemed shorter somehow, I didn’t understand why, but I was happy to see Nahuel again. (You were just with him!) My mind half screamed at me, the other part was telling it to shut the hell up and be happy.
Nahuel lit up a little when he saw me, but then his face dropped as Sam stepped out from behind me.
He started growling quietly, and shifted his stance so that he was between me and Sam, I touched his shoulder.
“It’s ok, he’s a friend” I said to calm him down.
I looked at Sam “Sam, this is Nahuel, Nahuel, this is Sam.”
“We’ll, it’s great to meet Leah’s imprint! I’m happy for the both of you, Leah’s a heck of a girl, and you better be good to her” he said, finishing with a mock threatening look.
“Sam, don’t be that way”
“What? I was just teasing him” he said innocently and I sighed.
“Ok, so now that the introductions are over, can we get to what we came here for?” Jacob asked laughing.
“Ok, ok… Sam, we wanted to ask about the treaty and, since Jake and I want to be married at First Beach, if it would maybe possible to arrange that?” Nessie asked.
“Hmm… well, considering that your family has helped out a lot with the vamp situation, I don’t see how there could be a problem. But we’d better have a council meeting, just to be sure.”
Nessie and Jake nodded. “Let’s do it.” Jake said.

Sam called the elders, and all of us gathered at the beach.
“Ok, so the reason I called this meeting is because of Jake’s impending nuptials with Nessie” he said, gesturing to her.
They nodded, and looked over to us.
“They want permission to have their wedding on First Beach.” Sam announced.
People started murmuring, but then Billy stood up. “I have no problem with this, seeing as Jacob’s my son and I’ve gotten to know Nessie, she’s a great girl.”
“But what about her family? I mean, surely they’ll want to be there, and we can’t…” a voice protested, but I didn’t know who’s it was.
“The Cullens have proven time and time again that they are not a threat to this reservation or to humans. While we’re at it, I think we should consider, modifying the treaty so that the Cullens are allowed to be here.” Sam said decidedly.
“And we should all remember that Jacob is the alpha, and it’s his right to be here.” Billy interjected.
“So it’s decided? All those in favor, raise hands.” Sam said.
There was some hesitation at first, but one by one, the majority of the elders accepted. They’re faces more curious than anything.
“Congratulations guys, looks like you’re getting married here” Sam announced with a grin.
Both Jacob and Ness smiled thankfully.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw mom sighing in disagreement, and I suddenly remembered that she had no idea of my imprint. She knew I had imprinted, but I’d kept Nahuel’s identity from her, and I guessed now was a good a time as any to tell her.

Nessie noticed my sudden stiffness. “What’s wrong Lee?”
“I just remember, I never did tell my mom about Nahuel.”
“What? How could you not have told her?”
“I was kind of getting over the shock, thanks…”
“Well, you have to tell her sometime.”
“I know! I just have no idea how” I sighed.
“I’ll help you” Nessie told me, and I smiled at her.
“I’ll help too” Jacob said.
“Why you? I mean, don’t get me wrong, thanks for the help, but… why?” I asked.
“Come on Leah, you’re a friend, not to mention my ‘Beta’, if something’s bothering you, you’ll probably make it so it keeps me up at night” he finished in a joke.
“Wow Jacob, I’m touched.”
“Yeah, yeah, just don’t get use to it. It’s too much fun to make fun of you” he said and laughed.
“No problem” I said and then stuck my tongue out at him.
Nessie beamed. “Ok, let’s go!”
“Nahuel, you’ll have to come too. I’m guessing that after she throws the fit of a lifetime, she’ll want to meet you.” I said and smiled.
“Of course” he nodded.
